Test your idea

Unfortunately, we cannot provide support for regular operations.

In Leader, it is important to have a bottom-up perspective, the idea should come from those affected and solve a need that exists locally. There needs to be support for the project among residents and those active in the area, start by investigating if the need for the project exists among others. Then contact us and we will help you further.

Leader grants support for ideas that are implemented in collaboration. At least two of three actors (business, associations, or public) need to collaborate around an idea to be able to receive project funds from us. If it feels difficult, it is a good idea to contact your municipality's rural developer. Of course, it is also fine to reach out to us.

Project support is granted for ideas that are expected to have lasting results after the project period. Think together about how your idea can create an impact even after the project is completed.

All projects need to take into account the principle of sustainable development, for example, minimizing impact on the environment and climate. Check out https://www.globalamalen.se/om-globala-malen/ and see which of the goals you can be part of and contribute to. Feel free to reach out to us as well to brainstorm ideas and get help.

En av Leader Höga Kustens övergripande principer är att motverka diskriminering och främja lika rättigheter, skyldigheter och möjligheter. Vi utgår från de sju diskriminieringsprinciperna, läs mer om dem här: https://www.do.se/diskriminering/diskrimineringsgrunder. Fundera på hur ert projekt kan arbeta för att motverka diskriminering, ett tips är också att läsa MUCF:s broschyr ”Så blir vi fler - Fakta, tips och exempel för civilsamhällesorganisationer som vill nå underrepresenterade grupper: https://www.mucf.se/sites/default/files/2022/09/Sa%CC%8A_blir_ni_fler_Original_1.7_TANP_KN_UPPDATERAD.pdf

We can only grant project support within these areas. Contact us and we will help you further.

Then you should check out our small grants which involve a quick decision and less administration. Perhaps your idea fits into one of them? See Current support.

Exciting, you have big ideas! If you have answered yes to most (you do not need to have answered yes to all questions), book a time with one of our project coaches and we will help you further.
